[WS:] I disagree. it i snot about what was practised in Africa - where Arab slave trade was indeed at a large scale and for centuries - but what happened on this side of the pond. AFIK, many slave owners had sex with female slaves, and children born from those relationships were of course slaves. In that sense, Andie's statement is true.
